What is 4 1/2 divided by 2 7/10? I need an answer please.
Most important:
you need to know how to do this.
The answer will be a result of this.
4 1/2 ÷ 2 7/10
turn them into useful fractions:
= (9/2) ÷ (27/10)
= (9/2)(10/27)
to divide by a fraction, instead multiply by the reciprocal of that fraction.
= 90/54
= 5/3
Dividing fractions can be a bit tricky, but don't worry, I've got your back! Let's turn those mixed numbers into improper fractions, because it's always more fun to be improper, right?
So, 4 1/2 as an improper fraction is 9/2, and 2 7/10 can be written as 27/10. Now, when we divide fractions, we just need to multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second. That means we flip the second fraction, so 27/10 becomes 10/27.
Now, let's do the math: (9/2) / (10/27). But hey, let's turn that division into a multiplication problem by multiplying by the reciprocal: (9/2) * (27/10).
Now let's multiply the numerators together (9 * 27) and the denominators together (2 * 10).
9 times 27 is 243, and 2 times 10 is 20. So, the answer is 243/20. But let's simplify that fraction, because clowns love simplifying things!
Dividing both the numerator and denominator by 3, we get 81/6.
And dividing both the numerator and denominator by 3 again, we finally get our answer: 27/2!
So, 4 1/2 divided by 2 7/10 is 27/2. Clown math for the win! 🎉
To divide 4 1/2 by 2 7/10, we need to first convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions.
To convert 4 1/2 to an improper fraction:
4 1/2 = (4 * 2 + 1) / 2 = 9/2
To convert 2 7/10 to an improper fraction:
2 7/10 = (2 * 10 + 7) / 10 = 27/10
Now, we can divide the fractions:
(9/2) ÷ (27/10)
To divide fractions, we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction:
(9/2) * (10/27)
Now, we multiply the numerators together and the denominators together:
(9 * 10) / (2 * 27) = 90/54
Finally, we simplify the fraction:
90/54 = 5/3
So, 4 1/2 divided by 2 7/10 is equal to 5/3.
To divide 4 1/2 by 2 7/10, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Convert both fractions to improper fractions.
4 1/2 can be written as 9/2.
2 7/10 can be written as 27/10.
Step 2: Divide the numerator of the first fraction (9/2) by the numerator of the second fraction (27/10).
9/2 ÷ 27/10 = (9/2) * (10/27).
Step 3: Multiply the numerators together and the denominators together.
(9/2) * (10/27) = (9 * 10) / (2 * 27) = 90/54.
Step 4: Simplify the fraction if possible.
To simplify 90/54, you can divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 18.
90/54 = (90 ÷ 18) / (54 ÷ 18) = 5/3.
Therefore, 4 1/2 divided by 2 7/10 is equal to 5/3.
